As
its name implies, the new smartphone takes advantage of Sprint's
advanced
4G WiMAX network. In addition, the phone supports EV-DO Rev. A,
CDMA, and EV-DO.

"Sprint
continues to lead the 4G revolution as we introduce HTC EVO 4G to
give our customers an experience that is unlike anything available in
wireless to date," said Sprint CEO Dan Hesse. "Not only is
this feature-rich device incredible on our Sprint 3G network, but
Sprint 4G speeds will take mobile multimedia, including live video
streaming, gaming and picture downloads, to a whole new level."

When
it comes to the specs sheet, many people thought that the Google
Nexus One had just about every smartphone on the market beat. The
HTC EVO 4G simply crushes everything else on the market thanks to a
4.3" (480x800) TFT LCD, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 512MB RAM,
8.0mp camera in addition to a 1.3mp front-facing camera for video
conferencing, GPS, digital compass, stereo Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile
HDTV, and HDMI (720p) output. When it comes to storage, the HTC EVO
4G has 1GB of storage built-in and can support up to 32GB via a
microSD slot.

Being
that the HTC EVO 4G is a flagship Android device, it is obviously
running Android 2.1.

"HTC
and Sprint have a strong history of working together to bring
consumers technologies and advancements that make their lives
easier," added HTC CEO Peter Chou. "We believe that the HTC
EVO 4G represents the best of Sprint and the best of HTC working
together to bring an unmatched device to the U.S. This combination of
HTC and Sprint innovation will allow people to do even more while on
the go, faster than ever on the Sprint 4G network."

"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis
